The Winery

Gazin

Château Gazin is one of the oldest within the Right Bank, dating back to 1772. When Château Gazin fell into the control of Nicholas de Bailliencourt, the harvesting was switched from the mass producing with, at the time low quality and trendy mechanical practices back to manual. Reducing yields significantly and increasing the quality of grapes that were harvested. Now we are able to share with you all the delicious outcome of these alterations in the winemaking process, as the success it truly is.

Tasting Notes

WA94–96
The 2008 is a marvelous effort from this property situated adjacent to Petrus and only a stone's throw from l'Evangile. An amazing effort, the wine exhibits an inky/ruby/purple color, wonderful concentration, a beautifully sweet perfume of caramels, mocha, jammy black currants, and smoky blackberries, a full-bodied mouthfeel, a layered, skyscraper-like texture, and sweet but elevated tannins. Overall, it displays gorgeous freshness and delineation. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2025. Range: 94-96
WE93
A wine for the long-term. It has dark tannins, powerful fruit, with some extraction. The density is the power here, firm, solid, very tough at this stage. Barrel Sample: 91-93 Points
